About Me

I am a twenty-something year old girl from the Adirondack region of New York, living and working in Chicago. I'm a first-year teacher, foodie, occasional writer, and etiquette-enthusiast trying to figure out how to be a "grown up" a thousand miles from home.

I wish...

...I was here. It was warm, beautiful, peaceful, and I miss it.This is Parque del Amor in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. Above is the statue "El Beso."

Here is a real-life "beso," and amorous couples can be spotted cuddling up all over the park.

These lovely railings decorated with mosaics run around the edge of the park overlooking the water. I'm particularly fond of the quotes running along the walls. The one near the kissing couple further up says "I undress you as if peeling fruit." You can translate the rest for yourselves. Have fun!
